I'm totally in to the pageantry of college football . . . everything from the cheerleaders to the band to the tailgating. You name it and I dig it. I think we are so lucky in Nebraska to have so much tradition and history and sometimes I think you just take it for granted since we're so used to it.

I saw this video on YouTube showing some of the "behind the scenes" stuff from the Husker band. I still get a bit choked up when they play the national anthem and get pumped when the band plays the fight song.

This dude does a good job and seems pretty calm considering he's talking to 80,000+ people. I know I couldn't do it.

Hope you like it!
